General Question

I'm having some trouble with torrents.

I use uTorrent, and I’m downloading off of btjunkie. I’m only downloading torrents that have lots of seeds, positive comments, and that I know I can trust. But when I do download them, under “seeds’ it says 0 then a large number in brackets. [i.e. 0(5425) or sometimes 0(0)] And it never downloads. After I wait a while, it says (in the Tracker Status) Tracker Offline (Timed Out). All the other comments underneath the torrents that I download say “This is great! It downloaded fast too!” Why won’t it work for me? The farthest one of my torrents has downloaded was 20%, then became inactive. (and yes I did try force start)

I just tried to download an episode of “The Big Bang Theory” from that site JP. It’s already saying “Tracker Offline (Timed Out)” and it’s 0(0) under seeds and 0(0) under peers, no clue what that means though. Sorry, I’m new at uTorrent :P

@blastfamy, I’m not too tech savvy, so I’m not 100% sure on what you mean by “fowarded from” but my router is also connected (through wifi) to my sisters laptop. (It’s wired to my Xbox too, but I don’t think that should make a difference when my xbox isn’t running)

Drats…. Alright. Is this your first time downloading torrents? Or have you been able to do this for a while, but now you can’t? I may not respond for a while. I get to go deal with the VA today. Wheeeee
